Because the Hawks are eligible to exchange draft picks next summer, the Nets have no bad way to go, and there is only one way to win in front of them, so this step must be taken.

I have to say that what Billy King created for Tang Tian is indeed a super hellish difficulty.

That's been done, but there's still a bunch of things to deal with.

At this time, there was no good choice, and Tang Tian could only wait for the free market to take a look.

At this juncture, Jones' negotiations with the role players went relatively smoothly.

After all, Tang Tian's list was given by him after careful consideration, and they all belong to the kind of players who have a certain amount of immediate combat power but do not have much market, even if it is the Nets, it is also a very good choice for them.

The first to talk about it was to rely on Wan Moore.

Moore rarely played on the Magic last season, averaging only 6 points per game, and is likely to be eliminated from the league.

After negotiation, the two sides signed a contract with a 2-year salary, a team option for the second year, worth 1.96 million, and an absolute cabbage price contract.

With the addition of Moore, the Nets have enough manpower at shooting guard.

After Moore, the next negotiation was Darius Miller, Miller is a standard shooter, but after being drafted by the Pelicans, he has not had much chance to play, and the Nets basically did not pay any price, and a 2-year 1.7 million base salary contract was directly won.

(Note: The amount of the base salary varies depending on the annual salary played in the NBA, and it increases with the age of the game.) ）

Jordan Crawford performed well with the Celtics last season and had a tendency to become the core of the team, but then lost his position after being traded to the Warriors, because of defensive problems, he had a poor market, did not receive any offers, and the Nets also successfully accepted a one-year non-guaranteed base salary.

Lavoy Allen (short meat shield) and Mike Scott (big man who can shoot threes) were also signed.

Finally, Greg Oden, who returned last season and didn't play much with the Heat, was also signed by the Nets.

This series of signings is a small move, but it fills in the Nets' roster step by step.

Although in the eyes of the outside world, this team still looks like a team with a bunch of veterans and a bunch of leftovers like last season, Jones can see that Tang Tian is plumping up the team step by step.

The Nets have been signing players one after another, and the free agent market has also been exploring.

After Anthony went around in the league, he signed a five-year contract with the Knicks with a total salary cap of more than $120 million, and it is worth mentioning that this contract has a trade veto.

Compared with Anthony, Lowry's contract extension is the price of cabbage, and a 4-year, 48 million contract allows the titan to continue to fight for Toronto.

Of course, there is no cheapest only cheaper, Nowitzki and the Mavericks contract extension amount is 3 years and 30 million, it is obvious that there is no PY deal behind this, there is just the love that the old driver has for Dallas.

Pierce signed a one-year, $5.13 million contract with the Wizards, and he will be Washington's new starting small forward.

……

As the signings progressed, the number of free agents on the market was decreasing, and the free agency market was nearing its end, but James, the biggest name, has never made a final decision.

However, some reports about him are endless, what Wade can't contact James, James is no longer in Miami and so on, judging from intermittent rumors, there seem to be signs of drifting apart between James and the Heat.

Finally, near the end of free agency, on July 12, James published an article in Sports Illustrated announcing that he would return to the Cavaliers.

When the news came out, the entire alliance was completely fried!

No one expected that after only two seasons in Miami, he would choose to leave!

And even his buddy Wade doesn't know anything about it!

Following the publication of this article, James also gave an exclusive interview to ESPN.

During the interview, he answered a lot of questions.

Why should you choose Back Knight?

Because of his age, he played outside for a few years and found that he was still a Cleveland.

Why not talk to Wade?

Because he was afraid that Wade would leak the secret, after all, the decision was difficult, and he didn't want to leak it before the final decision.

Does it have anything to do with Tang Tian leaving the knight?

It doesn't matter, in the past so many years, he has already looked down on the original matter, and the original thing was that he and his team did not handle it well at the beginning.

Will it bring a championship to the Cavaliers?

Of course, he returned to Cleveland to get the Cavaliers back into the dynasty.

……

The big three of Irving, James, and Love, as well as the miraculous pull of Gilbert's son, allowed the Cavaliers to complete the rebuild in just one season, and once again became the league's fearsome new big three.

I have to say, Cleveland's feng shui is really good.

Just after James announced his arrival, in order to free up signing salary space, the Cavaliers put their starting power forward Yi Jianlian in the past two seasons on the shelf.

In the past two years, because of the intermittent injuries of Paul and Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian has had a lot of opportunities to perform, and his performance this past season has reached the peak of his career, averaging 14.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, and shooting 47% from the field, which is the masterpiece of his career.

Although he left Tang Tian, because he has always had a lot of playing time and shooting rights, his ability has improved a lot compared to his previous life.

But because of the shot options that have been criticized, his trade value has not been very high.

However, after Yi Jianlian was put on the shelf, few people cared about it.

Aside from the value of the transaction, what is even more embarrassing is this point in time.

The free market is coming to an end, the signing of each team is almost complete, Yi Jianlian's contract is not big or small, there are more than 8 million, the strong team will definitely not be able to eat, the medium team has already had a starting power forward, and the bad team is not willing to give draft picks.

Of course, the most important thing is that everyone knows that you James is only one salary space away from returning to the Cavaliers, and the team that trades will definitely become the target of other teams, and no one wants to mess with this.

However, Tang Tian was not afraid of this.

The system sent him a maid before, and it also reminded him that if he returned to the host, the effect of the skills he used before would still be there.

In other words, if Yi Jianlian returns to the Nets, he will play better than he did in his peak season last season.

While there is a certain luxury tax to pay, there is no better option.

Jones immediately inquired, and the offer he got was laughable.

The Cavaliers want to sign James as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble, and the asking price is really not high at all, and according to the information the Nets get, a mid-second round pick will do.

This is exactly what the Nets are doing.
